I disagree with Stephen A. Rather than hide the problem face it straight up. If he didn’t speak up it likely is never going to change. Now it puts pressure on the university and community to do something about it
Since that Terrell "Max almost Blaçker than you Stephen A" he got some death threats and caught criticism by fans so he now has to always side with every memeber of black community and the cause no matter what.Thats why he ranted about Steve Nash privileged hiring and everything.He is clearly faking it and going over the top to look more acceptable to the community.He never really moved on fron those TO comments.Thats the idea-every time a black issue is mentioned-Stephen A rants and makes it a race controversy like for ex.

@@erikpuka2627 If that’s true, then that’s just terrible. I think Stephen A. simply cares too much what the black and white community think about his racial/social commentary. If you’re coming from a truthful, sincere and loving place, then you just have to say what you have to say and let the chips fall where they may. If people can’t at least respect your point of view even if they still don’t agree with it, then that’s more of a reflection on them then a reason to criticize Stephen.
Telling us about it isn't "Facing the problem straight up"....we're viewers and all we can do is view the situation from a far. He should have publicized the incident within the walls of JSU only. They are the only ones who were able to get his stolen goods back to him....not us.
Remember this is not the 1st time his belongings have been stolen his vehicle had been broken into before this happen so what do you want the man to do. It's very easy to say that you have handled it differently because you are not the one that it's happening to.🤔
I just hope JSU and the city of Jackson does not lose out on a great opportunity even it is due to a hand full of people acting rather ungrateful or just plain ignorant.
@@shanewise1359 yeah...I used to live there and left due to politics and poor economic issues ruining great opportunities in that city.

It's not hiding the truth.. it's just not something that NEEDED to be public because at the end of the day what does it accomplish... It's not like the public is entitled to this information... It's not even a football matter... That's like a student athlete getting something stolen from his/her dorm.. it's not really something that's required to be a public matter... Maybe if it was one of the players that was the culprit then sure it's something that should be addressed because that player would undoubtedly be suspended or even expelled which would make it a football matter as far as the roster goes...

I agree but In this situation he should have taken his time and thought it through and perhaps even met with the perpetrator. Try to squash it and make a positive. You know he already had that incident with his boombox earlier during the workouts.
And hopefully he learns from this and stop carrying all that flashy stuff around with him. We're dealing with college kids, it's a whole different animal. Some people might want to steal something from him just because it's him, something like a memento.
Hiding it would be accepting the behavior. He did the right thing, he should let everyone know that stealing will not be tolerated. If u ignore it, it'll keep happening.
Yes they/we would prefer to hide it. Not because we accept the behavior or just want to move on but because of the media had not been a fair to black causes. We don't want to give fuel to those seeking to find reasons to dismiss the good JSU is doing right now.
@@seanburrowes5647 of course but in a way hiding it could also fuel the fire but I just hope they take measures for it to not happen again and hopefully this is the first and last time
Naw. He had to go public. A few months ago his car got broken into and they stole his radio. Now they're going in his office too? Is he supposed to just say nothing? He needs to make it public to shame folks. He needs to let them and anyone else know that there is another way. Don't steal from your brother. He needs to let everyone know that he's not just gonna sit there and take it. He/we need people to do better.
@@AbsentQuack true...but thats Deon's job too...its His belongings so he cab say what he wqnts ro the media....BUT Stephen A. Couldve just focused on the STORY..... NOT WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE ANGLE DEON SANDERS TOOK ABOUT HIS OWN BELONGINGS.
@@NewGibraltarPictures Don't get me wrong, I totally get why Deion got heated, and I don't blame him for speaking out. I also get where Stephen A is coming from. His job isn't just to report on sports news, its to create a debate or a controversy over a topic to maintain viewer engagement. You're supposed to not like his take, its what keeps you talking about it.
I went to JSU and this really sad and embarrassing. No excuse at all and they need to prosecute that person to the max, I’m gonna need someone to pull prime to the side and tell him to stop being so lose with his stuff. This is the 2nd time this has happened. It’s nickname is Jacktown smh.

Well news flash it’s a lot of stuff that Stephen A does that we just would have handled it totally different. Deion a grown man he wanted to express hisself cuz somethin bad happened to him. Pray for the man be happy for him that he got his first win and be positive.
I fully agree with Stephen A. I am ultimately embarrassed. This is my alma mater. It should have been dealt with privately with the Memorial Stadium security and Jackson State security. Never should have been public. On the other hand, people need to stop stealing. Period! No question about it. Take the guy to jail. Great job on the win!
This hurts... We simply can't afford NOT to hold accountable those who choose to victimize our own people. A Black person who steals from or victimizes another Black person is the worst kind of sellout. Full stop.
@@letsgetlit2829 Where in his comment did you get that from? He's stating why the school would do it, not what he would do. Weird to accuse people like that
In my opinion he did it the right way of calling it out, security needs to step up and if anything it only helps the faculty and students to do a better job of coming together and looking out for one another. Don’t hide crime because it’s a HBCU, set the standard. Prime handled it just like it was supposed to be handled and got his stuff back. The streets are going to start looking out for him.
I'm glad that Deion did not make it political. He keeps it 100. Some idiot robbed him and he's pissed about it. And I believe that's the 2nd time? I just pray he keeps his composure and stays above the fray b/c Deion really ain't the one, if you want to really get down to it.
'We're brithers' LOL Then Smith disses Deion on National TV. BTW, Deion did a helluva lot for HBCU football by taking that job over many others that would have paid much more.
Jack City!! He is out of there next year. At some point we have to stop blaming white people and saying white supremacy... We need to change our culture! This is terrible!
So Stephen A thinks the best way for a college to promote itself is to cover up crimes being committed on its campus? Really? I'm sure the parents of students that attend this college or are thinking of attending this college love to hear that.
This is another problem at JSU are going through a culture change and challenges that will be eradicated. Fighting on coach Prime. Exposed this nonsense and JSU Movement have to correct this nonsense.
The only issue I have with Stephen A's comments is that it insinuates people don't steal (etc) at other institutions that aren't historically black. That's just flat out nonsense as those bigger colleges had far more egregious scandals. If parents are reluctant on sending their child to an HBCU because of a few items that were stolen (not lessening what happened btw), then they never really wanted to send them there.
I think Deion handled this very well...when dealing with our people you have to do it with an iron hand....who cares what the other people think...he is cleaning up JSU and tossing out the trash...the fact that it was handled quickly indicates the University is on the right track....
It's more than once. They broke into his car and stole his boom box about a month ago too. He got that back after making a post about it. He has to put it out to the public because there are people in that area that care and have much love for Deion and realize that he didn't have to go down there and bring all that he brings to those people and that area and they will fight for him and eventually make things right.
Dudes at HBCU’s steal all the time. A friend of mine knew a guy who stole a PS4 at Wiley College then lied about it when confronted. There’s a group of students who have nothing better to do than steal.
3 года назад+4
I went to BYU and all those guys did was steal from each other and play stupid pranks on people. You couldn’t even leave your tooth brushes out around these sick kids.
I went to a PWI ( predominantly White Institution) and I can literally say the same thing. We had a group of Asian students breaking into cars and stealing car radios.
You're wrong Stephen A. I think he handled it correctly. This is second time his items have been stolen. All Deion is trying to do is build a winning program and bring hope to city. I think him handling this way allows people to see what he's up against and hopefully step up and play a part in changing the city. It's bigger than football for Deion, this is about an entire community so thats why he shared it with the community. Can't Heal what you Hide.
I totally disagree with Stephen A. Smith. Deion is absolutely correct! People have to hold themselves and their community to a higher standard. IF you see someone doing something dishonourable, you call them out. Do not wait for someone else to do it, do it yourself! If something is unacceptable, DO NOT ACCEPT IT! He is calling for the improvement of every aspect of that environment. Everyone! And calling out the theft of his property, so that people understand the ills of the current environment, and know that this behaviour will not be tolerated, is one step towards bettering the situation! In answer to Stephen A.’s question, why should people go to Jackson State? They should go there because there is a new sheriff in town, one who is committed to changing the culture of the community, that’s why!
Stephen A. wishes Deon would have lied about this simply to cover up the fact that this happened at an HBCU. If this happened at say, Florida State, Stephen A. would have found a way to make this a 100% racist story and Deon the helpless victim.
S.A.. You get mad when Max K. Disagree with you.. So how you would act if somebody stolen your wallet or personal items.. You wouldn't know until it happens..🤷🏿
He handled it right. This is the second time his stuff was stolen. How else could he have done it? Last time he made it publicly, he got his stuff back in 24 hrs.
No...actually, as expected, it seems that Deion made a great statement-especially under the circumstances. The reason our community is in the shape it’s in is because we try to keep too many absurd dysfunctions “in house.” Didn’t this story drop right around the the time the little boy disrespected Cam Newton...? We have no sense of collective progress...thus we’re getting to the point where we’ll disrespect people while they are IN THE ACT of helping us grow. ...and the ones most likely to clown, typically wouldn’t so much as raise their voice to someone white. js Deion needed to say something because this wasn’t just about his stuff-this goes to the heart of changes we need to make as a people.
Well said Marcus. If you don't own it, how are you ever going to fix it. Just like the two thief's on the cross. One owned his mistakes, recognized he was in the presence of the Savior and he is in paradise. The other, not so much. Something about being truthful causes one to see a lot clearer.
Imagine for 1 minute Deion sanders being a coach in the nfl. I know one thing I would wanna play there. He has swag and has fun but can he coach and win.
I agree with Stephen Smith. Deion should handle it privately not announcing it to the general public. We don't need to put everything that happens at JSU on the news, social media and the general public. Such a statement presents a bad reflection on the University.
Why shouldn’t it be ?? The school interviews and accepts its students, so therefore it is the students fault who stole but also on the school for not implementing rules and morals. Considering how high on these schools you are SA, he handled it perfectly! No one gets off the hook!
It's best that he let everyone know. Just think about what been going on without people knowing and thinking they are some of the best schools out there. Now, they can make changes
stephen a wants deion to say nothing wants certain players to shut up. if ur black and u act up u get put in your spot then and there he said he was coming to change the culture, stephen a wants him to brush it under the rug like hbcus done for years. i bet u the security will be stepped up.

It's bigger than football for Deion, this is about an entire community so thats why he shared it with the community. Can't Heal what you Hide.
Well said💯
I think he was frustrated. That was like the 3rd time he got robbed since he been in Jackson. Still I wouldn't have aired it out in the press.
Interestingly enough, I only know about this happenin, because of Stephen A publicizing it to me???
This is absolutely sad on so many levels.
See how they do you when you help? Enemies are everywhere. Selfish cowards.
Nah, I’m with Deion on this. His car and then this?
Why people keep stealing from Deion?
That’s not a good point, don’t say anything cause it’s an HBCU. He was the victim of a crime, he shouldn’t sweep it under the rug
Well said Stephen A
I totally disagree with Stephen A. Smith. Deion is absolutely correct! People have to hold themselves and their community to a higher standard. IF you see someone doing something dishonourable, you call them out. Do not wait for someone else to do it, do it yourself! If something is unacceptable, DO NOT ACCEPT IT!
He is calling for the improvement of every aspect of that environment. Everyone! And calling out the theft of his property, so that people understand the ills of the current environment, and know that this behaviour will not be tolerated, is one step towards bettering the situation!
In answer to Stephen A.’s question, why should people go to Jackson State? They should go there because there is a new sheriff in town, one who is committed to changing the culture of the community, that’s why!
While I agree with Stephen A. (for once) it is easy for us to be rational because it wasn't our stuff.
They still haven't fired Molly?
I know right? The nerve of that woman having a better job than a loser like you will ever have.
Shut up Steven a smith it's not your stuff that was taken from ESPN station
Kudos for Steven A.
It is the truth. Prime ain't lie
Stephen A. wishes Deon would have lied about this simply to cover up the fact that this happened at an HBCU.
If this happened at say, Florida State, Stephen A. would have found a way to make this a 100% racist story and Deon the helpless victim.
We're not outnumbered we're not organized. I respect Stephen A.'s position.
Actually SAS, THIS is what shouldn't be said on National TV. THIS statement is the one that should be made in private.
Thanks Stephen A, everything could have and should have been handled differently.
He just said that someone stole from him that’s all it has nothing to do with HBCUs
You're supposed to be selling Character and Integrity, it happens the way Deion handled it. That was Lesson #1 by coach Prime
Deion Is NOT an alum of FSU. He attended but left his junior year. He graduated elsewhere later.
Deon is paranoid after the thief of his boombox, and he should be!
S.A.. You get mad when Max K. Disagree with you..
So how you would act if somebody stolen your wallet or personal items.. You wouldn't know until it happens..🤷🏿
Slow day in sports news
He handled it right. This is the second time his stuff was stolen. How else could he have done it? Last time he made it publicly, he got his stuff back in 24 hrs.
broke into his car and now this! he cant even go to sleep! they'll steal his dreams
that girl said he trying to help y'all out. well dam!
No...actually, as expected, it seems that Deion made a great statement-especially under the circumstances. The reason our community is in the shape it’s in is because we try to keep too many absurd dysfunctions “in house.”
Didn’t this story drop right around the the time the little boy disrespected Cam Newton...?
We have no sense of collective progress...thus we’re getting to the point where we’ll disrespect people while they are IN THE ACT of helping us grow.
...and the ones most likely to clown, typically wouldn’t so much as raise their voice to someone white. js
Deion needed to say something because this wasn’t just about his stuff-this goes to the heart of changes we need to make as a people.
Well said Marcus. If you don't own it, how are you ever going to fix it. Just like the two thief's on the cross. One owned his mistakes, recognized he was in the presence of the Savior and he is in paradise. The other, not so much. Something about being truthful causes one to see a lot clearer.
Imagine for 1 minute Deion sanders being a coach in the nfl. I know one thing I would wanna play there. He has swag and has fun but can he coach and win.
I agree with Stephen Smith. Deion should handle it privately not announcing it to the general public. We don't need to put everything that happens at JSU on the news, social media and the general public. Such a statement presents a bad reflection on the University.
Why shouldn’t it be ?? The school interviews and accepts its students, so therefore it is the students fault who stole but also on the school for not implementing rules and morals. Considering how high on these schools you are SA, he handled it perfectly! No one gets off the hook!
Maybe Prime time needs to stop taking so much valuable stuff with him .. Leave that valuable stuff at home
Maybe thieves need to not take whats not theirs.
What people fail to realize this is the 2nd time they have stolen something from him on that property this needed to be said
It's best that he let everyone know. Just think about what been going on without people knowing and thinking they are some of the best schools out there. Now, they can make changes
so stephen a wants to cover it up....great idea
Stephen A has a valid point. People will use any ammo against hbcu’s
How!!!
How do you witness that and NOT do something?? Unless they had guns, knives, etc and you felt threatened 🤷🏾♂️
stephen a wants deion to say nothing wants certain players to shut up. if ur black and u act up u get put in your spot then and there he said he was coming to change the culture, stephen a wants him to brush it under the rug like hbcus done for years. i bet u the security will be stepped up.
Talking from the guy who steals Max's Tapioca - Pudding from the ESPN break - room
